Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where did you take my love?
Left me alone
You left me abandoned
Girl 'cause if it's passion that you want
Gave it to you thousands on thousands of times over
You said that my love get you drunk
We made love every night, never let you stay sober
You thinks that you a spy but me no know her
Girl if I didn't want you woulda let you go
Woulda let you know
Stop the confusion
Stop the illusion
It's only you on my mind
It's only you all the time
And I need you to stop the accusations
My lovin' is real life, no animation
Determined to love you long, I need patience
Girl how many times, say how many times
I have to say it's only you
Yeah baby it's only you
Yeah baby it's only you
Yeah baby it's only you, oh
Nobody'll catch my eye
Girl it's only you and I
Believe me bae
No girl gonna get my love
No girls gonna get no trust
Believe me bae
Why lie about the way I feel about my baby?
My little baby
Uh, the kissin' ain't nothin' without the passion
All I see talkin' and I need action
No get me no half 'cause I don't need no fraction
Just want to wake in the mornin' with you beside me
With all of our problems behind me
It was like yesterday with my baby
And now you could dance with anybody
Because you think I'm with anybody

Me body count lose just anybody

The lyrics to PARTYNEXTDOOR's "Only U" speak to the pain and confusion of someone who has been left abandoned by their partner, despite providing them with all the love and passion they could offer. They are wrestling with accusations and illusions that are being thrown their way and are pleading with their ex to stop and understand that it is only them that they desire.
The first stanza sees the singer questioning why their partner left them and took their love away, leaving them feeling alone and abandoned. Despite giving them everything they could in terms of love and passion, the partner still left. The singer believes that if the partner truly wanted passion, they have given it to them thousands of times. The partner used to say that the singer's love made them drunk, they would make love every night, but now they are gone, leaving the singer as the one to blame. They plead with their ex to stop the confusion and illusion and understand that it is only them on their mind and that their love is real.
In the second verse, the singer emphasizes that nobody will catch their eye as it is only their ex that they desire. They are determined to love them for long and need patience, but their ex keeps accusing and questioning them. They plead with their baby to believe them and not lie about their feelings. The singer stresses that kissing is not enough, and they need action, they need their partner back by their side, with all their problems behind them. They lament how things have changed, and the ex now dances with anybody as they think the singer is with someone else. They reaffirm that their body count doesn't matter as they only want the one they truly love- only them.
